Faith, family, and freedom, worth fighting for.Karen Kingsbury, I loved IN THIS MOMENT! Thank you for bringing a very relevant story to us. Highly recommend reading.

Karen Kingsbury gives such an amazing spirit filled story. This story had a lovely current event feel to it that tugged at my heart strings every page. I loved the story she weaved from new characters, to The Baxter family I love reading about. I really felt like Karen Kingsbury truly is one of the best authors of this time. I love her stories and how she always spreads the gospel.This time we aren’t just seeing the Baxter family, we meet new characters. A principal and his son. Principal Quinn is trying to help his school while his son wants to help in any way he can. The story goes through everyone’s trials and tribulations, but it also shows God’s grace. Relationships are formed and families are tested. Truly a wonderful read.

First of all, I love Karen Kingsbury's books. This one is another one in the Baxter series and I love all them as well. It was one I couldn't put down. It was so good and involved Luke Baxter as an attorney battling for religious rights that as a Christian we all may be battling for before too long the way our country is going. Very interesting reading and thought provoking.

Karen Kingsbury takes on the issue of religious freedom with her usual aplomb in her series about the Baxter family. The story wasn't strictly about the Baxter family as the main character was the school principle Wendell Quinn but the Baxter family played a strong supporting cast. I wondered at times what direction the story was going to take and how it would come out in the end but Karen kept me engaged as usual. I cried some, I laughed and I enjoyed the story as always.Sex - a few chaste kissesLanguage - noneViolence - attempted murder and murder none of which are graphic in detailreligion - this book is all about religion and the right to learn/speak about it in school if students so choose

Karen has done it again! Kept me riveted to her books! I loved the story! It contained so much of what we as Christians are facing everyday! So powerful! I also loved getting reacquainted with the Baxter family! I have read almost all of Karen's books. I love the dedications she writes about her family. I remember when she adopted her boys, and have been able to keep up with her family as I read the dedications in her books. I look forward to this series! Spring can't come soon enough! 😊

This is a great read! It is very timely with the topic of Religious freedom. Karen Kingsbury is a master storyteller and engages the reader immediately.

I love this book. The subject is more interesting to me than a lot of her other books. This is so timely. I loved her point that if we don't fight for our freedoms and exercise them we will loose them - sooner. I love to see good triumph over evil. I loved the kids standing up to and or helping their parents. I loved to see justice prevail. We don't see enough of it in the real world anymore. This example helps move us in the right direction.

The plot of the book is a current one seen in today's news frequently. I use to read this author,but her stories have become predictable, so I don't read her anymore. I read this one for a book club. It is a clean Christian book. I prefer to read Christian books, but I had not read the other books in the series and there were times I was confused as to who the characters were. This is a good book for someone to read to see the progress non-Christians can make to become a Christian.

Brilliant. A real testimony to the reality of an amazing God, and how He works in the lives of ordinary people who trust Him.

Karen Kingsbury does not disappoint.

Karen kingsbury never disappoints! Love her books!

Predictable story line , Karen kingsbury used to my a favourite of mine . She writes interesting, clean books. It feels like the same story line with different characters....

You don't need to know all the past characters from Karen Kingsbury's previous books to get absorbed into this story. But it certainly has inspired me to know more about their stories. Looking forward to learning more about some of the characters in her previous novels.
